Fly tipping is an unsightly and dangerous problem and costs
council tax payers money to clear away.
We treat this problem very seriously and will usually prosecute
anyone caught fly tipping waste in the borough. Dumping household,
industrial and commercial waste illegally is a serious criminal
offence that carries a fine of up to £50,000, offenders can even be
sent to prison.
